Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Cooked ground beef is safe and supportive during pregnancy when prepared to a safe internal temperature. It delivers complete protein, vitamin B12, and bioavailable heme iron necessary for fetal neurological growth and maternal blood supply. The USDA and CDC emphasize that ground beef must reach at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit internally to ensure complete destruction of foodborne bacteria. Drain excess rendered fat after cooking and add the browned meat to tomato sauces or taco bowls.
